Fujitsu is still working on the details for the recall so
that customers are made aware of who to contact and where to send their
defective batteries to. BusinessWeek
reports:

Affected are 224,000
laptops sold overseas across 10 models, including the popular Lifebook series,
according to Fujitsu spokesman Masao Sakamoto. The remaining 63,000 were sold
across 17 models in Japan.

The "Total Recall" has now topped the 7.5 million
mark and will only grow after Sony launches its Global
Replacement Program. Sony estimates that its total cost for the recalls
will be between $170
to $254 million USD (not counting this latest recall from Fujitsu).

*As per Nikkei.net add Fujitsu to the list.
* Business week also has a good article on this subject.
*Refer to guidlines issued by US CSPC

The way things are shaping out from day to day,I think a TOTAL ban on Sony laptop batteries will on the way soon.
Thats the only way to stop explosions/panic/doubts etc people have in their mind-there are no guarrantees,IT can
NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN .
So a blanket ban is the need of the hour/situation.
